THIS GUY WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT?
Just hours before attending an all-star celebrity fundraising concert in New York, Dem presidential candidate John Kerry revealed how has been too busy for a real-time national security briefing."I just haven't had time," Kerry explained in an interview.
Kerry made the startling comments on CNN's LARRY KING LIVE Thursday night.
KING: News of the day, Tom Ridge warned today about al Qaeda plans of a large-scale attack on the United States. Didn't increase the -- you see any politics in this? What's your reaction?
KERRY: Well, I haven't been briefed yet, Larry. They have offered to brief me. I just haven't had time.
So what was Kerry doing instead of receiving a real-time briefing on national security threats? Listening to Whoopi Goldberg launch into an obscene tirade comparing President Bush to female anatomy:
"Waving a bottle of wine, [Goldberg] fired off a stream of vulgar sexual wordplays on Bush's name in a riff about female genitalia, and boasted that she'd refused to let Team Kerry clear her material," reported Friday's New York Post.
Apparently the Johns were not only amused, but giddy:
Far from being offended, Kerry thanked all the performers at the Radio City Music Hall event for "an extraordinary evening," adding that "every performer tonight ... conveyed to you the heart and soul of our country."For his part Edwards actually boasted that it was "a great honor" to sit through the X-rated show, adding without a hint of irony, "This campaign will be a celebration of real American values."
I'm at a loss for words here.
